This research aims to portray the skaters‟ identity construction in Boa Vista city. The observation places where their practices first took place were: Anauá Park in the year of 1989 and the Skate Track in Ayrton Senna multi-sport complex, after its construction, between the years 1999 to 2001. We also analyzed the urban spaces of the city, in order to perceive how the identity constructions of the related group contrasted to gangs‟ identity construction, in other words, how the skaters differed in their practices from those that emphasized the violence in the city. We also registered how the group made changes to rename urban space in skating territories, from the art of graphite, zine and through new networks of relations. Therefore, it was possible to identify the social contribution for the Boa Vista society, linked to the Amazonian scenario as a place of socio-cultural diversity, while participating in the global skateboarders network. For this research we used semi-structured interviews in audiovisual form with the skaters who experienced transitory and territorial movements‟ identity in the urban spaces of the city. In addition to documentary research in newspapers, magazines and photographs, to identify the way in which the skaters built their identity on the other side of the city.
